    Steps: 1.Determine the overall charge of the metal complex. 2.Identify the charges of the ligands, and the numbers of e-s they donate. 3.Determine the number of valence electrons of the metal center, so that the oxidation state of the metal and charges of the ligands balance the overall charge of the complex. (E- count of metal center = Metal atom group number + ∑(charges of ionic ligands) – overall charge of the complex) 4.If metal-metal bond is present, one bond counts for one electron for each metal atom. 5.Add up the electron count of the metal center and the ligands.
